Nathanael Davis
Nathanael Davis has been a member of ACL since 2020. Nathanael joined the Conference Coordinating team in 2021 to fulfill the new role of Conference Technology Coordinator. His role is instrumental in linking the in-person content for those participating online. He has already shown great leadership and ownership in this new role and played a vital part in the 2022 hybrid conference. He will continue serving as the Conference Technology Coordinator through 2024. Nathanael and the Cedarville University library team exceeded our expectations in 2021 in the way they stepped up to the plate in hosting the conference virtually and are excited to have the membership on campus for the 2023 ACL Annual Conference. Even though Nathanael has only been a member for two years, he remarkably exemplifies the Spirit of ACL!
